The world of branding is full of exciting possibilities - and collaborations are one of our favourite ways to create something special. There’s just something about a well-executed collab that gets us going. Whether it’s something we spot out in the wild, a client-led initiative, or an organic opportunity to bring like-minded brands together, strong collaborations always bring out the best in creativity and community.
Bringing two brands together is an art form. It’s not about slapping logos on a tee - it’s about alignment, shared values and a design that speaks to both audiences while still staying true to each brand’s identity. When done right, the process feels effortless - a natural extension of mutual trust, creative energy and a shared vision.
We’ve built a strong working relationship with Bounce Noosa, a boutique holiday stay in Noosaville that’s completely elevated the hostel experience. It’s known for its social energy, stunning aesthetic, and THAT pool - the home of year round good vibes and epic impromptu pool parties. For over a year, Bounce has stocked our custom merch in their reception area - offering their guests a fresh take on the classic tourist tee, with fruity colours, pastel tones and fashion-forward cuts. When they expressed an interest in creating their own line, we pitched a collab - leveraging our design and production expertise to deliver a premium, moderately priced range made for their style-savvy, budget-conscious guests.
Working closely with the Bounce team, we set out to bottle up their iconic poolside energy and combine it with the tropical NVH aesthetic. We created a playful illustration suite using reworked Bounce and NVH fonts, pastel flourishes and tropical touches - paired with the tagline ‘Home of the Good Times’, a perfect fit for both brands. The range was printed on premium garments with custom printed neck labels, further elevating the offering.
The response was huge. Guests loved the vibe and quality and the range flew out the door - we’ve already done several reprints, and demand is still going strong. There’s something special about knowing visitors are leaving with a little slice of Noosa vibes - a reminder of not only where they stayed, but how they felt in those magical holiday moments. We absolutely loved this collaboration and can’t wait to share more about the other exciting projects we have in the pipeline with Bounce!
